Replacing door panels on my '73

[73 Duck]

Doing a bit of work on the truck to get her ready for summer and ran into a snag. I have never removed the original door panels from this truck (the actually thin sheet of fabric covered panel). Anyone know the best way to take these off without ruining them? I have removed the window crank and the door handle, they should pop or slide right out correct?

They should pop off with a little help. The best thing to do is borrow the tool from AutoZone, or buy it. It saves the door panel.

so its just a few clips holding them on?

There are about 8 metal spring clips on the back of the panel. The panel is made of pressboard and the tool will help keep from tearing the clips out of the press board.

Thanks for the help!
